June 9, 1958 – Sheb Wooley
June 9, 1958 – Sheb Wooley’s “The Purple People Eater” hit # 1 on both Billboard’s “Best Sellers in Stores” and “Top 100” charts for 6 weeks. “The Purple People Eater” tells how a strange creature (described as a “one-eyed, one-horned, flying, purple people eater”) descends to Earth because it wants to be in a rock ‘n’ roll band. The premise of the song came from a joke told by the child of a friend of Wooley’s; Wooley finished composing it within an hour. #ROCkabillyHop #RocHop #Billboard #ShebWooley #PurplePeopleEater
